I find it disturbing that people can't seem to be in a room without a TV on, even if they're scrolling on facebook. People probably think I avoid them when I'm really just avoiding TV.
Its infuriating to be visiting some family member, having a conversation with simeone, and have to talk over the noise of a TV that they have almost always on. I usually take the remote and at least lower the volume. But eventually someone comes into the room and goes "why is the tv so low?" and raises it again... Why?? We're having a conversation, youre not even watching this shit... So frustrating
TVs make people feel less alone, its a coping mechanism.
Seems people are being replaced by cats and TV. I cant help but wonder if people were better off without them if it made people more likely to improve their social skills.
